Need a fun summery project? I whipped up some DIY beach rock fridge magnets—a project I’ve been saving rocks for since my vacay last summer. I used a mix of pink turquoise slabs, quartz, beach glass and assorted salvaged/painted rocks, some $1.99 magnets from Jo-Ann Fabric, and my favorite all-purpose clear tacky glue, Fabri-Tac. This one is so easy, and the results are so pretty. See more DIY and style tips at HeyMishka.com! xo

Instructions

  1. Small 108276 2f2015 03 30 104043 diy beach rock fridge magnets bohemian 3

    Curate your rocks and gems into a set of mixed colors and textures. You may want to paint some of them to give a more varied appearance. Pastel colors end up looking the most summery.

  2. Small 108276 2f2015 03 30 104139 diy beach rock fridge magnets bohemian 2

    Grab your magnets (in the end, I realized I should have spent a few more bucks and got stronger magnets, as these little guys didn’t hold the heavier stones—but they worked perfectly for the lighter ones).

  3. Small 108276 2f2015 03 30 104150 diy beach rock fridge magnets bohemian 6

    Dab a bit of glue onto the back of each rock with your Fabri-Tac and immediately place the magnet over your glue.

  4. Small 108276 2f2015 03 30 104216 diy beach rock fridge magnets bohemian 7

    Press the magnet down firmly.

    Let them dry for a few hours — overnight is a safe bet to be sure the rocks don’t ooze off the magnets while they’re on the fridge.

    Once dry, add them to your fridge!
